Racecars

I met this girl the other day

sitting alone on the wednesday train

i said, "what's wrong? you look so sad."

she said she's got something inside

that she's not willing to confide

so i said, "could i give some free advice?"

"don't worry bout your problems now, baby,

cause it just don't matter when it comes down to the fact.

everybody's got problems now, baby,

and life's too short to keep them bottled up inside."

cause i know

that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street

that'll go

anyway

it feels like heaven down this one way street

cause i know

everything will be fine

i met this guy the other day

sitting alone on the sunday train

dressed up with nowhere left to go

he said, "if there's one thing that i've learned,

through all these cigarettes i've burned,

you've got to stop and look around."

he said that hindsight's clearer than a crystal ball

if he had a chance to stop and do it all over again

cause when you're waiting for the sounds of the gavel

you don't want it to end with a fistfull of regrets inside

cause i know

that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street

that'll go

anyway

it feels like heaven down this one way street

cause i know

everything will be fine

cause i know

that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street

that'll go

anyway

it feels like heaven down this one way street

cause i know

that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street

that'll go

anyway

it feels like heaven down this one way street

cause i know

everything will be fine
